Dracos on my '87 245 200

Hi you all. Thank you greatly for your help in the past. I just scored some Dracos from an 1990 740 turbo car in the junkyard and hope to put them on my 87 245. I read all of the old threads on this subject but didnt find out about the proper lug nuts to use. I understand the 700 lugs are metric and therefore cannot be used on my 245. Also, I understand that my corona lug nuts cannot be used because of their shape. What lug nuts can be used for the Dracos on my 245. Any factory lugs I might get from the junkyard? From the dealer? From some other retailer? Thanks again in advance!

Dave's right: use your original 240 lug nuts and you'll be just fine. The 740 and 240 nuts are not interchangeable, as they have different thread sizes, but the wheels are interchangeable without any worries.

Stock 240 steel wheel lugs work just fine to hold the 700 series alloy wheels, the taper is the same.
